Naadam and Gobi Tour

Experience the best of Mongolia on our 11-day Naadam and Gobi Tour — a perfect mix of culture, adventure, and natural beauty.

Our Naadam and Gobi Tour begins in Ulaanbaatar, where you’ll enjoy the vibrant Naadam Festival, Mongolia’s most famous celebration. Watch traditional competitions like wrestling, horse racing, and archery, and feel the energy of this national event.

After the festival, head to the countryside and explore some of Mongolia’s most iconic destinations. First, visit the ancient capital Kharkhorin, home to the famous Erdene Zuu Monastery. Then travel south to the peaceful ruins of Ongi Monastery, nestled along a desert river.

Next, dive into the stunning landscapes of the Gobi Desert. Walk along the red cliffs of Bayanzag (Flaming Cliffs), ride camels across the giant Khongor Sand Dunes, and hike through the dramatic Yol Valley, known for its deep canyons and surprising ice fields. Continue our Naadam festival tour to the colorful cliffs of Tsagaan Suvarga, then explore the unique rock formations of Baga Gazariin Chuluu.

Finally, relax in the green hills of Terelj National Park, where you can hike, meet local nomadic families, and enjoy peaceful views before returning to the city.

This Naadam and Gobi Tour is ideal for travelers who want to see Mongolia’s top highlights in one exciting trip — combining culture, history, desert landscapes, camel riding, and unforgettable local experiences.

What is a ger camp?

Standard Ger Camps are like hotels, but instead of rooms, you sleep in a Ger. These camps are usually near famous places. A Standard Ger has 2 to 4 single beds, a small table, a stove to keep warm. And sometimes a a shelf or a small sink. There is no bathroom inside the ger. You will use clean toilets and hot showers in another building nearby. There is also a place to eat, and sometimes a small bar or game room.
Some camps have Ensuite Gers. These have a private bathroom inside the ger. If you want this type, please tell us. We can book it for you, but it costs extra. Please note that ensuite gers are not available at all tourist destinations, and some ger camps have only a few ensuite gers.
